Kids and Halloween

Ok the kids would not have it that mom wasn't mom this year. I usually decorate for Halloween as it is my favorite holiday. But this year since the day before Halloween I will be in the hospital and such didn't want to deal with taking it all down nore would I be able to. So my kids kept pestering till I agreed some and then I asked husband if he would take it all down, usually my job. He agreed so here you have a front door draped in black garbage bags cut length wise into long strips that are stretched that are held up with tabs that are supposed to hold up Christmas lights made it easy to hang. We are not putting everything up this year my tree and caldron and a few other things are actually decorating my husbands work and he will have to bring them home and put them away. I will take another photo once it gets darker so you can see the effects of it all minus the eerie sound and fog machine. The kids actually cut all but one bag which I did to show them how it was done then it was my job to hang and stretch the bags as they cut more to hang. About ten bags total was used. Earlier in the day these had been blowing real eerie like but it has since rained and they are heavy with water. Oh and that is just a little kids plastic trick or treat pumkin that we found thrifting a few years ago that is being used as the porch light for fun.
